We oversee every step of the cremation process personally. By owning and operating our own crematory, we ensure each cremation is handled with dignity and precision. This allows us to prevent any risk of misidentifying or misplacing a loved one’s remains. Families can feel reassured knowing that all cremations are performed on-site by our trained professionals - a commitment we uphold to bring peace of mind during an emotional time.

From the moment your loved one comes into our care, they remain with us. If embalming is not chosen, they are respectfully placed in our secure refrigerated facility. This also allows family members traveling from out of town the chance to say their final goodbyes and find closure before the cremation takes place.

We invite families who wish to witness the cremation or incorporate religious observances. Our facility accommodates larger groups and offers the option of a witness cremation - a deeply personal experience where loved ones may observe through a viewing window as the cremation begins.

Your loved one is placed in either a heavy-duty cardboard container or a cremation casket, based on your selection. Once the family is ready, our crematory operator gently places the casket into the retort. A family member may be invited to press the start button — a symbolic gesture that holds deep spiritual value in some traditions.

We proudly support families of all beliefs and backgrounds. It is a privilege to provide a respectful space for every cultural and religious practice during this important farewell.

Many believe that cremation excludes the possibility of holding a funeral or visitation. This is not true. We encourage families to gather in memory—to celebrate life, share stories, and grieve together.

After cremation, there are several meaningful ways to lay your loved one to rest:

The cremated remains can be placed in a family plot, urn garden, cremation niche, or another peaceful resting place. We can help you explore every option available.

You may scatter the ashes in a meaningful location - a garden, body of water, or another sacred place. Some families choose to keep a portion of the remains in an urn while scattering the rest.

Families can hold a service as the remains are placed in their final resting spot, accompanied by prayers or personal tributes.

For families who live apart, dividing the ashes into separate urns allows each loved one to keep a meaningful part of the person close by.

At Silver Lining Cremations & Burial, we are devoted to supporting you with compassion and care. Let us help you honor your loved one’s memory and guide you toward peace in this difficult time.
